The ROCCO® rockfall ring net as a central element
	Thanks to their excellent elastic-plastic behavior, ROCCO® ring nets are clearly superior to conventional systems. The reason: They absorb energy themselves and therefore stress the anchorage less than other types of ring nets or solutions based purely on rope nets.   Why? Because in an event, ROCCO® ring nets first dissipate kinetic energy over the sum of the deformation  of all of the rings. The forces are uniformly transferred into the net or else into the whole system, and without placing extreme stress on the anchorages. Also the ring net, which is fixed to shackles, contracts within a fraction of a second over the place of impact: The ring bundles are concentrated where they are most needed (curtain effect).
